10th in the Jack Taylor series
Jack's life seems to have turned a corner. He obtained an unexpected windfall that has him in comfortable digs for the first time in a long time. Jack is also facing the world sober which is quite a departure from the past. Unfortunately Jack isn't able to leave his old life behind because a serial killer leaves notes drawing him into a web of deception and brutal killings. Bruen's sparse writing style is noir at its best and the descriptions are so vivid that Galway, Ireland is a character of its own. I alternately love and hate this series because it takes the reader along on such a heart wrenching journey as we see the world through the fractured prism of Jack's tortured soul.
